Slip Under the Microscope

Should he confess all and face the consequences or should he keep his secret forever?'A Slip Under the Microscope' is one of H.G.

Wells' best-loved short stories, detailing the dilemma faced by the central character, Hill.

During a botany exam, Hill inadvertently 'cheats' when he moves a microscope slide and is forced to choose between coming clean or staying quiet.

This tale is a fascinating dissection of the themes of honesty and ethical behaviour.

With certain autobiographical elements to the story, 'A Slip Under the Microscope' gives us a brief insight into the mind of one of the greatest authors of all time.-
